Initial wave propagation modelling for the areas of Barkley Sound and Port Alberni have been run with FUNWAVE. These models are based on the Digital Elevation Models generated by NOAA-NCEI and the source models by Natural Resources Canada. These models have been run by Tania Insua under the supervision of Stephan and Annette Grilli (University of Rhode Island) with advice from Jeff Harris (University of Paris-Est) and Dmitry Nicolsky (University of Alaska-Fairbanks).

PRELIMINARY results of a six hours simulation are shown here for a buried rupture (Mw=): 

Preliminary videos for a simulation of 6h can be seen in the Ocean Networks Canada youtube channel for the same scenario for:

More models for other scenarios will be run shortly for these same areas. Values of currents have also been generate and will soon be post processed.
